Yellow - Version 4.5

All of the blocks I made this week are made from 4.5 inch scraps. I had a pile of fabrics that were probably less than a fat quarter or fat eighth and cut them into 4.5 inch strips, 2.5 inch strips and 1.5 inch strips since those are the size of scraps I most often use.

Here are my four Dresdens. Every month my goal is to make four of them appliqued to a gray background. I will make one in all the color of the month, one in month's color plus complement, one in month's color and black/white and one in month's color plus white/black. In addition I am using polka dot centers surrounded by gray rick rack.

I keep forgetting to take photos of the process and some tips on how I make Dresdens...maybe next month.

Lest you be squeamish that I include spiders in my quilts...look up the symbolism of spiders in quilts and you will see that they are a symbol of good luck.

those Dresdans are great--is that gray rickrack I see in there??? Very nice selection of yellows in all your blocks. I am not a fan of spiders (but yours are cute!!)--altho they do eat nasty mosquitoes for us...hugs, Julierose
